That’s a bu**ger Nick, I was actually referring to the car wifi connection not your phone, can you connect the car to your home wifi and try again - if it is a car wifi problem that might get you reconnected ( got to be worth a try), if not it sounds like a dealer visit

Connected with the WiFi, tried 2 different phones, nothing worked.
Something was not right to start with, with the car losing the privacy settings all the time, now the app is not even binding.
I reckon this needs dealer.
Will try it again tomorrow and then call them.
At least I control the charging through the ohme app.

Great shame Nik, hopefully the dealer will be able to sort it out for you quickly, let us know how you get on mate.

So annoying this. Just read an old thread that unbinding can take between 48 to 72 hours. In any case I be calling tomorrow.
Otherwise the car is lovely. So quiet and refined, night and day compared to my old model 3.
I drive it in Eco and still you can feel the power.
By the way I don't think I will order the boot cover.
The holders will not allow the seats to fully recline and the opening is small. No noise coming from the boot either while the windows are so dark you can't really see anything in the boot.

The back wheel steering is pure magic. It turns like a mini

Go to the Apps screen (the one where you have Android Auto listed), wipe to the 2nd page and tap "User". This will open user screen on the top display. Here's where you should be able to bind, unbind and actually have your email listed when you click switch account. When I bound it to the app through that screen is what sorted it for me.

Can I ask if anyone received a printed user manual for the vehicle or was it only a QR code for a online user manual?

Cheers for this.
Tried already. It is not accepting either email or phone although they have been both added and verified in the app. Gives error message with code 10036, no idea what this is.
I reckon the car is going through the unbinding process...
Will call the dealer today.

None of this.
I had the pdf manual from the site but to be fair it's so generic it ends up being useless.

Right; so spoke with the dealership and got promised a call back from Miles.
Also raised it through the app to MG customer services.
Miles; if you see this please call me

Hi all.

Attaching some photos that I managed to quickly get.
Spoke with Miles too, videos and information provided. Waiting for an update hopefully early next week.

PS. This is a thirsty beast. First 100 miles 2.4 kw/mile.

Please remind me what version you have. I went through you post but could not see the info.

I’m getting around 3.2 ( on a run) , not bad for the cold weather. Is your 2.4 based on short hops? If so it may be because of the temperature & car warming. If I do a short trip ( 10-15 mls) I get around the same as your 2.4

@tsedge I'm not saying anything

This is the launch version. Out of the 100 miles that I have done so far first 35 where when I picked it up which was mostly motorway. Another 10 local shop trips; very short ones.
Since then my daily commute which is around 7 miles from home to work; local roads and a very short span on motorway.

By the way as LenEV points out I may have mixed my numbers here; it is 2.4 miles per kw!!!
This is about 420 Wh/mile.
My model 3 this time of year was doing 350 Wh/mile if I remember well.
Actually it is not that thirsty

Apologies; running around like a fool today.

It is thirsty, we know that and I have not denied it. We also know that efficiency isn't a priority for everyone.

But I'll be interested to see in time what the IM5 LR can achieve year round. I'm still considering getting one in 12-18 months, so plenty of time for real world data to emerge.
